Some Facts Worth Knowing.

l would respectfully call the attention of
my customers and the public to the fact
that | have now in store the most complete
stock of furniture and carpets, and all goods
pertaining to my business, which are Of
fered at very low prices. In my furniture
department you will find from the cheapest
to the very finest goods, at as low, or lower,
prices than ever offered in any Northern
city. Come and inspect the goods and COM
pare, and you will find it to your advantage
to buy from me. 1t is a rare chance to find
an establishment which carries such a com
plete stock of goods as do in household or
office furniture. In my carpet department
there is nothing in that line you may waut
that ] do not have in stock. Carpets chr
tains, portierres and oil cloths mostly i'm
port directly from England, which are de-
hvered to me through the Savannah custom
house | therefore claim the advantage of
selling good article for little advance on
domestic goods, and the goods sell will al
ways give satisfaction, and are never mis-
represented. Respectfully,

High Glass Bronze statuary, Etc.

Our senior is back from New York. Our
citizens who appreciate handsome and ar
tistic effects in Bronze, are cordially invited
to visit our warerooms and inspect the
grandest display of most beautiful de-
signs in ornamental and decorated art ever
placed before the Savannah public. Faust
and Marguerite, in companion pieces, in re-
hero, are gems worthy of the poetic interest
that attaches to the weird and mystic. Be-
sides we are receiving, almost daily, invoices
of beautiful objects of virtu in the latest
and most novel conceits. Our display of
fine Silverware is unaapproachable in quality
monds we, of course, lead, and our stock of
Fine Jewelry merits attention. Our aim to
be the Jewelry Palace of this city will,
we think, be established by this seasons dis
play, and we request the public to favor us
with a visit of inspection regardless of de-
sire to purchase. NJ. STERNBERG,

NARROW FIRE ESCAPE.
The Ocean Steamship Police Prove
Themselves Good Firemen.

The Ocean Steamship Police Prove
Themselves Good Firemen.
At 1920 o'clock yesterday morning a fire
alarm was sounded from box 42-Central
railroad wharves. The department re-
sponded at once but on arrival at the spot
found the flames nearly extinguished by the
Ocean Steamship police, who had, on the
first alarm, got out their hose and turned
on a stream Their timely efforts
prevented what might have been disas-
trous connagration The fire was in some
bales of cotton, on the railroad, and not far
from the wharf. There We're about 100
bales in one place, and close by fully 5000
more The flames sprang up fiercely at
first, and had not the water been applied as
soon as it was, the probabilities are that
serious and damaging fire would
have ensued. AS it was fifty
seven bales were well singed
and scorched. 1t is not known how the fire
started. It's believed by some to have been
caused by spark from an engine, while
others say that two boys were near the bales
smoking cigarettes, and thus communicated
the fire TO the cotton. Three negro boys were
arrested, but were released for want of
sufficient evidence against them. A rigid
examination Will be made.
At II o'clock, an hour later, box 81 rang
an alarm, but it proved to be false.

Charleston Laconics.

Mr.. Basil Royal, who was shot at Mount
Pleasant on Sunday, is thought to be recov-
ering from his wounds. His condition
showed slight Improvement Tuesday
The market was fairly flooded with marsh
hens Tuesday, which were sold at 15c. a
pair. 1t is probable that marshhens were
served at 1000 dinner tables in Charleston
on that day. They were peddled around
the streets in wagonloads.
Mr.. 4. B. Means. a planter on the line of
the Charleston and Savannah railway, says
ne will not have one bag OF sea island cot
ton to gin where he had fifty bags last year.
Every one in his neighborhood has planted
short staple, owing to the small prices pre-
vailing for sea island cotton.
The invitation of the Gala Week Associa-
ton to the Busch Zouaves was forwarded by
express Tuesday to st. Louis. 1t is printed
on the finest satin, and was framed by Won
Santen & Son in handsome native South
Carolina oak, prettily carved with oak
leaves and bordered with oxidized silver.
The Charleston and Savannah Railway
Company have advanced their rates on
Jacksonville freight. The old 25c. rate on
first-class goods, which was reduced to l5c
on Monday to meet the cut by the Clydes,
has been resumed as have also the former
rates on other classes of freight
The agent Of the railroad said that there
was no money in hauling freight at such
low rates, and that they preferred to see the
goods shipped the other way rather than do
the business at such figures.
There is some talk among the business
men about the result of Mr. Quintard's visit
here, and there is a good deal of curiosity
manifested to know what were the points
of difference between the committee and
the great ship-owner The committee are
60 20 hat
at their conference with Mr.. Quintard. Mr.
Quintard is reported to have said that he
was in for the line, and so are the two ex-
changes He also did not hesitate to ex-
press his conviction that $3.50, 900 could be
raised in Charleston by one hundred of the
most prominent business men. A business
man said that the raising of the money was
not the difficulty, but the mode in which
the money was to be applied. The mer-
asked to be allowed the controlling
interest, and it is suspected that
just here the negotiations re-
ceived a check. 1t is also thought,
and with good reason, that it was the object
of the merchants and business men inter
ested to have the main Office of the proposed
company in Charleston, the charter for the
company to be of record in South Carolina.
Another thing that is supposed to have
SUOOu III the way was UnhU Une Northern
men who proposed to invest in the scheme
wanted a small but nevertheless effective
majority of the financial interest, which
would, of course, control the location of Of
fees, charter, etc. The sub-com-
mittee, Messrs. Bird and Wells,
are still reticent. Mr.. Bird was,
however, asked if there was any danger
that the scheme would be abandoned. He
said that on the contrary the committee
were still at work, and would continue their
correspondence with Mr. Quintard and
others until something definite had been
reached
